This is one great CD - MY FAVORITE FOR 2005- and let's hope that she will do many more like this. First, she has an incredible voice that is distinctive and powerful. Next she is a great guitar player and what she plays is hard jamming rock. This is anything but soft acoustic guitar backing ballads and light pop.
Lastly, her songwriting and choice of material is good and it suits her style and talents well. If she gets more airplay and exposure, she will become very well known.

I caught Daniela Cotton live Friday afternoon at the Austin City Limits Music Festival ([...]) and they put on THE show of the day.

Her vocals are powerful - cross between Janis Joplin and Tina Turner and the band as a whole were awesome: versatile in range (from the get in your face rock to the bring it down a notch vocals).

If you ever get a chance to see her live - you won't be disappointed as they blew away bigger and more well known bands appearing that day - can't wait until they hit the big time as they are well on their way.

Entertaining and crowd pleasing to say the least - from their own tunes to closing their set with the AC/DC cover of Back In Black.

Rock on Daniela! Thanks for playing Austin, Texas!

I listen regularly to a podcast called Bandana Blues that features great blues music, commentary and interviews with artists. I'll be doing a music podcast review in the upcoming days. On their last podcast, they featured a song called "Devil In Disguise" by Danielia Cotton and let me tell you, it absolutely blew me away. The song has power and raw emotion and her voice just rips through it and sends chills down my spine. I later found out that she also plays the guitar. Now I can't stop listening to her self titled EP and full album release, "Small White Town".

In the music and voice I hear touches of Janis Joplin, Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz and Melissa Etheridge.

From her bio she says that her early influences were AC/DC, Judas Priest and Todd Rundgren. She also mentions her mother who was a gifted jazz singer and the gospel music at church as influences. She's played all the big local clubs in NYC and has shared the stage with Living Color, Sister Hazel and others. Her debut album, "Small White Town" is aptly titled. She grew up in rural Hopewell, NJ. She ended up being the only one of 7 black kids in her high school.

Her big break is coming, that I know. chench.com/emusic/

Danielia is HOT new artist, with such a variety in her music it is refreshing. She is a soulful, hard rocker! :) I saw her perform and she did AC/DC's "Back in Black," almost better than AC/DC themselves, and then did Hendrix! Of course all the music that night was her own, and it was amazing. I HIGHLY suggest this CD because it is amazing! I can't wait to hear more from this awesome talent! Go Danielia!

An amazing, energetic and soulful singer/songwriter who guarantees that rock and roll lives. This album rocks and soars. See her in person for a great evening of music!

She is amazing! Every song is a keeper! See her live if you get a chance. this girl can rock!

I first saw Denielia at the House of Blues in Chicago when she opened up for Sister Hazel this past year. Since then I traveled on The Rock Boat where she happened to be on there too! Being able to see her and her amazing band perform multiple nights was the best! She has a very talented voice and a very supporting band. She is my new favorite artist! My friends and I vouch for her CD 100%! We got to hang out with them on the cruise and they now know us as their Chicago gang! If your thinking about getting the CD, make the move, it is worth every cent!

I'm having a first listen at this extremely talented young woman and the smile on my face testifies to the pleasure she brings to these ears.

I can't tell you who she sounds like, and if you are one who prefers to listen to new artists only if they sound like someone you already know and like, you will miss out if you pass this one by. My musical tastes are eclectic and I am happy that every song on this CD resonates with assurance that Daniela Cotton knows her craft.

She is a small woman, but her voice is mighty.

I recently saw Danielia Cotton @ Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, KY. She was absolutley amazing!! To be honest, I didn't know any of her songs but a friend had recommended that we go and see her. As soon as the show was over, I went right over to buy a CD. She is absolutely one of the best artists I have heard in a long time. She can be very deep with her music and at the same time talk about everyday things that relate to us all. And just like she says, "It's only life!" I really recommend everyone to give this CD a try. You will not be disappointed!

I saw Danielia perfoming on HD NET. I immediately went to Amazon and ordered this CD. Devil in Disguise and Pride are my new favorite songs on my Ipod! Her voice is one of a kind! Also bought the DVD that she has out with Jennifer Glass "On Stage At the World Theater. I highly reccommend that also.
